Container From Lip Gloss/Balm

Introduction: Container From Lip Gloss/Balm

I am always searching for small, neat, little containers to hold my gadgets. I dislike just throwing things away and so I do my best to reuse. This is the result of my wishes.

My sisters use lots of lip gloss and they're always throwing the containers out. I thought they'd be a perfect container. So I went to work. This is Instructable isn't very long and anyone should be able to do it. (This is my first Instructable so pardon any mistakes)

Step 3: Taking Out the 'Bucket'

That part is the 'bucket' that pushes the gloss up when you turn the bottom dial. You must take the 'bucket' out. This part can be a little difficult. It all depends on what brand of gloss you have. Some are made better than others; however you can get all them out! Turn the dial, bang it upside down on a table use your screwdriver, anything. Sooner or later it will pop out or loosen so that u can get it with your fingers. It should look something like this, Unfortunately there is no use for it and it must be thrown out.

Step 6: Starting the Glueing

So I used Epoxy but I'm sure there are more options out there. If it sticks use it! I'm sure Sugru could even be used.

Apply some Epoxy to the bottom of the gloss tube. Add more Epoxy to the top of the dial (mine is pink). Make sure to fully coat the shaft in the middle. Then stick em' together! Take a clamp and secure the tube in it. Wait for it to dry.

Step 7: Use It!

Now your finished! You can use your lip gloss container for anything; storage, crafts, gifts, the possibilities are endless! I hope you enjoyed this Instructable and I would appreciate constructive suggestions or ideas.
